Also, why is any lighter skinned person seen as higher than a darker skinned person , not just in America but, around the world. Chinese are "whiter" than the japanese or other asian races. The main cause of racism is the superiority complex of lighter skinned races. not because of other reasons.

Couldn't they be the true religions, or at least one of them. Even Jainism(Spiritual) is old, they all originate near India, could that mean anything?

every time i ask a question about my religion, i have at least one person that tells me i will go to hell because i am worshiping the "prophets" of my religion. They dont even take the time out to read about my religion and find out what it is teaching people.
my prophets are:

Abraham
Zoroaster
Jesus
Muhamed
Krishna
Buddha
Bahá'u'llah
and Moses.

my religion goes by the teachings of all of these prophets, they teach there is ONE God and he alone is to be worshiped.

allot of people think that Hinduism and Buddhism are Polytheistic BUT there not they teach that there is ONE God. if you dont believe me check it out for yourself :-|

I AM MONOTHEISTIC!!

now that i have that out of my system, i feel alot better :)

Why do humans get sick so easily? Why do our bones break when we fall? Why do we need glasses? Why all the aches and pains? Why do our teeth rot and break without proper care?

God was all powerful, so why all the design flaws?

What exactly is it and what do they believe? Do they believe in God (or in a god I should say, or higher being)? What makes someone's life change because they were in scientology? And why are there so few churches around? Is it even really a church?

I hear all this talk about the church of scientology, but no one ever says anything! It seems like kind of an empty or selfish religion to me (of course, I know very little about it), but I'm just curious what exactly they believe.

Suppose you are placed in the following hypothetical situation: You are kidnapped by some evil mastermind named Mr. X. Mr. X injects you with a poison that kills you in 1 hour. Nothing can stop you from dying.

Mr. X introduces you to Louie. Louie trusts you and would follow any advice you give him. Mr. X explains that you are to tell Louie not to follow your religion. It doesn't matter what options are open to Louie; you are to tell him that your religion is false and that Louie must never pursue that faith.

If you do that, Mr. X frees Louie to continue life as usual, except that he is convinced your religion is false and will never convert to your religion. If you allow Louie one shred of belief in your religion, then Mr. X tortures Louie for 45 minutes before killing him in front of your eyes. I know it's crazy rhetoric, but try to treat this as serious. Would you dissuade Louie from following your religion?

Please state your religion along with your answer.

I am kind of confused on this. Why do Christains quote a lot from the OT but then not do a lot of other things from it. For example it says not to eat pigs, but we do, it says not to work on Sundays, but we do. I know when Jesus came to earth He changed the covenant we have with God, but how do you know what to follow and what not to in the OT?

First off, I have no interest in responses that have mention of.... Well, its what counts on the inside! Or it is quite shallow to ask if a man is a better lover by is nationality! Have fun with my question and try not to get too serious.Unless of course you know for a fact that the english are better lovers in that case I would be very interested.Best answer goes to whoever has an honest opinion about the matter. I am only asking a cheeky question, and hope to get honest and genuine answers.Tell me everyone.... Are the english better lovers? Are the english more attentive to matters of the heart? As american men kind of shy away from it?Are there in any cultural differences that give one nationality advantage over others?Share your thoughts please

Quran 33:18 YUSUFALI: Verily Allah knows those among you who keep back (men) and those who say to their brethren, "Come along to us", but come not to the fight except for just a little while. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/033.qmt.html

Isnt this just incredible. I mean...jaw dropping unbelieveable. I swear, with every once of my fiber, it astounds me that any human on earth could mistake this for the voice of God. Just unreal.

Ahh yes, General Allah knows who is slacking!!!! So good Muslim sheep, dont you dare let up in the bloody thirsty murder of non-muslims...not even for a "while".
